I love my weighted blanket but I like to be really warm when I sleep.

It helps me get to sleep but to be honest I don’t have much trouble in that area.

Is it weighted for warmth?

I feel like it traps in your own body warmth.

Thanks

They are amazing!!!

Although I got my weighted blanket for a different reason, the first thing I noticed was how calm and safe it made me feel.

Yes! It’s like a hug!

I've heard some excellent reviews about weighted blankets, they apparently have a comforting effect and do calm anxiety in some sufferers. :-)

Thanks. There seems to be mixed reviews.

Different things work for different people, at least you'd be nice and warm in winter even if it did nothing else :-)
